For a 50-year old dude, the peerless Bill Goldberg is in mind-bending shape, and continues to defy age by looking only slightly older than he did during his last WWE run from 2003-2004.

Opening up to Jim Ross on the legendary announcer's Ross Report show, the current WWE Universal Champion couldn't resist revealing how terrified he was before first removing his top on television again in front of millions.

Worried that the industry had moved on without him, the comeback king said he panicked when wondering just how fans in 2016 would react to his body; obviously, Goldberg had nothing to worry about due to his peak physical conditioning, but it's interesting to learn that he was so scared.

This acts as a reminder that even some of the most seemingly confident people on the planet still have their own little fears and worries.Bill Goldberg is no different.
